All our protocol extensions are documented in PROTOCOL.* in our source. Other open-source implementations have adopted some of our extensions (e.g. OpenSSH certificates in Go's x/crypto/ssh, chacha20-poly1305 in tinyssh) and we have adopted extensions from other open-source implementations (e.g. curve25519-sha256@xxxxxxxxxx). I've kinda given up trying to write things up for the IETF. It's dominated by commerical vendors and people with more inclination to argue on mailing lists than write good software (cf. the sftp process). -d On Mon, 5 Jan 2015, grarpamp wrote: > There were a few notes in this thread that may indicate > open areas for development.
